What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Amerispec Inspection Services FDD, the definition of the Designated Territory is found in Paragraph 3.1 of the franchise agreement. The FDD states that Amerispec Inspection Services will designate a specific geographic area where the franchisee is authorized to perform services.
The FDD further clarifies some rules regarding the territory. Franchisees can perform services outside their designated territory only if the customer initiates the request. However, franchisees are explicitly prohibited from directing marketing or solicitation activities towards agents or customers outside of their assigned territory. Franchisees must operate their Amerispec Inspection Services business from an office location within their territory, as specified on Page 1 of the franchise agreement. Relocation to a different office within the territory requires written approval from Amerispec Inspection Services, with notification of the planned change submitted at least 30 days in advance.
Amerispec Inspection Services retains the right to operate similar businesses or grant franchises to others outside the franchisee's designated territory, even if those businesses compete for customers within the franchisee's territory. However, if a franchisee fails to meet certain criteria to maintain protected status, Amerispec Inspection Services also reserves the right to operate or franchise similar businesses within the franchisee's designated territory. Amerispec Inspection Services also reserves all rights to engage in transactions with other businesses, including competitors, regardless of location.
